2023 NBA Buyout Market Tracker
Over the years, the buyout market in the NBA has suddenly become an important timeline following the trade deadline.
Whether it is players getting traded to unfavorable positions or veteran players wanting out of their current contracts to join a contending team, we are seeing more and more players bought out of their contracts.
This season is no different, as this group of players set to hit the buyout market could very well be the best group we have ever seen following the trade deadline.
With how tight things are in the standings in both conferences with just about two months left in the regular season, one key signing in the buyout market could just be the difference in some teams making and missing the playoffs.
